You've been told a thousand times: wash your hands to stop the spread of COVID-19. But why does this work so well?

Where do all the millions of insects on Earth actually live? What do their homes look like and what advantages might these homes give for their survival?

Perfect!!

Perfect!!

It’s a funny old world, isn’t it? For thousands of years, humans lived, worked, played and learned in groups of various ages. A child was just as likely to spend time with his grandmother, as he was to be in the company of a younger child. What was odd, was finding anyone spending most of their time exclusively with their peer age group.
And then, the modern education system, being wise and efficient, sorted children into classrooms based on age. This way all 9-year-olds could learn at a 9-year-old’s level.
Only, not all 9-year-olds learn at the same pace. Some might be better suited with the seven-year-olds in maths or the 13-year-olds in English. Some may still want to play imaginary games at recess, while others have grown too mature for such trivialities.
This classroom thinking has leaked into every area of our lives. The idea that children should only play with others of their own age, is a very recent one. When viewed through a different lense it seems odd. Consider that after reaching adulthood our friends begin to spread out over a variety of ages.
One of my greatest joys is seeing the different ages at our Wild+Free outings playing together. Big teens helping toddlers cross creeks, small people having a voice even with the older children. There is no hierarchy, just children playing. The older children show the little ones how to construct lean-to forts. The smaller children point out mushrooms and insects and everyone oohs and ahhs. They are an organic community. Similar interests unite them into friendships, not age brackets.
The benefits for all are wonderful. Older kids have the freedom to tarry in childhood a bit longer. Younger kids have a wise companion to help and teach them. Older children benefit from the responsibilities of leadership and nurturing. Young ones benefit from the attention and care of “the big kids”.
What a beautiful childhood for all.

About STEM Stars

Hi! My name is Emma Amies, and I am a curious, playful and colourful character! I have a first class degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Birmingham, and qualifications in Chemistry, Maths, Psychology, and Child Development.

I have 15 years experience of working in STEM skilled jobs, primarily analysing crime data, problem solving, and making recommendations to decision makers. Prior to this I have worked at the Sealife Centre in Birmingham, as a Laboratory Supervisor in a Dairy, and spent several years working for The Zoological Society of London, based at London Zoo. Here I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time working in Mongolia, collating data, hosting international workshops, publishing books and databases, and bringing together scientists from across the world to conserve some of our most endangered species.

Memories of my own childhood come flooding back to me as I now experience motherhood. My parents filled my days with experimentation, imagination and colour. We made swirling milk patterns, shrank crisp packets and used vegetables to dye t-shirts. I developed a love of learning, and continue to be curious about the world around me. It has given me great pleasure to share these experiences with my own children, and I now am so happy to be able to share some of this magic with others, encouraging an interest in STEM subjects in our future generations.

Already I see my eldest child is starting to design, invent and think critically, and I hope that STEM Stars will enable others to have similar experiences. It’s not just about going on to love science, or work in a STEM field. It’s about being equipped with the essential skills for a lifelong love of learning in general, the ability to solve problems,think critically, ask questions, and really appreciate the magic of the world around us!
